That's pretty condescending.

I wouldn't get a Vanilla because A. Can't afford it, B. Couldn't wait that long, and C. I wouldn't be comfortable riding something worth that much in the city or locking it with anything less that a bank vault.

That said, I'm a Vanilla supporter 100%. The company adds variety to the the bike community and promotes a tradition of craftsmanship. These are good things, even for those of us who might not want one for ourselves.

It's also a great company to hate for those who live to publicly distance themselves from anything that moderate to large groups of other people might like, lemmings that they are. Even the harshest critics, who apparently find being critical in online forums a good time well spent, should be thankful for having an object of their insatiable and misguided scorn.
